After a mixed pre-season in terms of results, Rugby now face their toughest task yet in facing UniBond Premier side King's Lynn.

The Linnets were winners of the Zamaretto Premier in 2007/8 but suffered demotion last season from the Blue Square North due to ground grading issues.

Valley's record against Lynn is good with two wins from their last two visits to Butlin Road and 7 wins out of 8 in total at home.

Rugby will be without the services of ex-King's Lynn favourite David Staff due to work committments while David Kolodynski may require a late fitness test to play.

Craig Herbert will feature after missing the Bedworth game through illness but Andy Stevens is still away meaning Dan Bell will continue to deputise in goal.

Meanwhile, full back Liam Nicell is expected to return to the club from Brackley Town for this afternoon's game.
